6 great Etsy stores for vintage kitchen goods

Edelweiss Vintage;
May Berries Vintage;
White Elephant Vintage;
Vintage Goodies
There was a time,
oh so many years ago, when I could truly find
vintage
gems for a song on ebay. This, I fear, is not so much the case anymore,
thanks to something called a
free market economy.
As the vintage treasures dwindle, the amount of
crapola also rises,
leaving one feeling as if she is crossing a desert of trash, constantly
deceived by mirages.
But then there is etsy, with its
nice design and clean interface, and
the edited, curated selections of a few vintage sellers who can be
depended on. I've been looking at ceramics, tole trays, and items of
foreign curiosity, and these are some of my very favorite sellers:

Interesting post. There was a time when some vintage items were difficult to find. Then there was eBay - multiply one hard to find item by two from each state, add in global listings, and the next thing you know, there are over a hundred of these hard-to-find, easily found items on eBay. Thus, supply and demand forces the item into a depressed price. Those were wonderful Etsy selections. So happy to you shared. :)
